The Afghan military gets own fixed-wing close air support with the first of 20 A-29 Super Tucano turboprops expected to begin arriving in December 2015. The U.S. Air Force’s $427 million program to provide A-29s to the Afghan military has been caught up in long-running contract disputes and delays in the training of Afghan Air Force air and ground crews, leaving the Afghan military overly reliant on the U.S. for close air support in combat. The aircraft is made by the Brazilian aerospace company Embraer S.A. A few more will arrive next year 2016 but the majority of the order won’t be fielded until 2017 and 2018 under the current schedule. (20150306)

3. Biodata Lt Gen Dawran:
Latifa the only woman pilot in the Afghan National Army's Air Corps blames the commander of the Afghan Air Corps, Major General Mohammad Dawran for the death of her 36-year-old sister and fellow aviator, Lailuma. She died on July 17, 2006 from complications during childbirth at Kabul's Rabia Balkhi Maternity Hospital.

Her relatives wanted the commander-in-chief of the Air Corps to send Lailuma abroad for treatment. "The commander goes to foreign countries for his eye problem -- and even for a simple headache -- every month and year. Did Lailuma not deserve it? I called on Dawran to come and transfer his pilot abroad for treatment," said her sister Latifa. But Wardak did not help. (20060802)
